Decision guide
Which one fits your team?
Detectify and BoringSec solve different problems. Here is the honest split.
Detectify is the better fit when
- You need deep, authenticated DAST of custom web apps and APIs that actively attempts real exploits
- You must discover and monitor a large external attack surface across many domains and subdomains
- You need enterprise controls (SSO, CI/CD gating, PCI ASV) and crowdsourced vulnerability research
BoringSec is the better fit when
- You want a self-serve answer without a demo, onboarding, or sales call
- You are an indie developer, founder, or small team shipping an AI-built app (Cursor, Lovable, v0, Bolt, Windsurf) and want affordable, self-serve pricing
- You want broad coverage in one pass plus plain-language, AI-ready fixes, not an enterprise console to operate
- You want both website security and SEO / AI-search readiness, with separate report flows and grades available in 10 languages
For context: Detectify is an application-security platform that continuously discovers a company's internet-facing assets and runs deep, payload-based DAST on web apps and APIs, powered by crowdsourced ethical-hacker research. Built for AppSec teams managing a broad, growing external attack surface.
